I'm a simple vessel. I see Hollow Knight cover, I click. And, boy, was I not disappointed. Your use of instrument variety while keeping the tone and beauty of the original is insane!
It’s cool that you included both the environmental and combat versions of the song. On a somewhat unrelated note: it’s neat to be able to see the harp threads move.
If you check out the Hollow Knight OST, they actually don't separate the combat version and the environmental one. He didn't change anything, he just replicated it near perfectly.
i swear the presentation on your videos gets better every time i see one, i mean i remember when each instrument had a box and it would light up when they played, then the non playing started looking at the playing ones and now where hear, and its beautifull
Hello everyone!! I just wanna say how amazing this guy really is. he came to my school like 2 weeks ago, maybe three, I haven't checked. but he was genuinely one of the nicest and most caring people i have ever met. he endured my classes questions about his workout routine and stuff like that and after that I even got the chance to talk to him and wow, this guy really is awesome. we were talking about how both of us were the only opposite gender in our sections, me the only female trumpet player and him the only male flute player. he made me feel not alone in my situation which I greatly appreciate. he is also so incredibly talented in how many instruments he plays and also just how long it takes for him to make these videos. he is truly an amazing person and really is one in a billion. I never got to truly thank him for when he came to us, so, instrument Manic, thank you so much for giving us a wonderful experience at SCPA!!!
The Hollow Knight soundtrack is about to experience a renaissance!! Beautifully faithful cover, with all the charm, mystery, and energy of the original - but even better because it’s all a live performance. Thank you for this treasure!
this was absolutely amazing, this really gave me the feeling i had when i entered greenpath for the first time. Its absolutely magical, and it made me fall in love with this game all over again. Thank you
This was an absolutely incredible cover! I love you played each of the instruments and highlighted their sections! Hollow Knight has such an organic-sounding ost, and you really make them shine!
The rate and concistency of quality at which this man pushes out entire arranged, instrumental covers of music is actually insane. I know how much time and effort it takes to make this kind of music, and Luke, this is nothing short of admirable, your stuff is awesome.
I... I literally cried listening to this. It was simply incredible, I have no more words to describe this masterpiece. I love and appreciate your work very much, I ask you to keep it up, because it's really good. I was super excited when I saw the vote for which song to do and Greenpath was among the options. We are all waiting for Silksong and more of your Hollow Knight songs!! Thanks for this Masterpiece! ♥️♥️♥️
Considering Hollow Knight already is orchestral, this fresh and amazing take was really surprising. I didn't expect to see Hollow Knight but I am very happy I did! THIS IS AN OMEN, INSTRUMENTMANIAC HAS BROUGHT US AN OMEN OF SILKSONG'S UPCOMING RELEASE, REJOICE!!!
Love all the instruments, all going synchronized it´s incredible, love. Especially with all the guitars and the transition to the more high tempo. Again, love it, incredible work, must have taken forever to complete
Yo! Out of all the very superb pieces on the hollow Knight OST, "Greenpath" is my very favorite!!! I can't wait for this!!! An amazing arrangement as always, Luke ! Outstanding !
This is a genuine masterpiece. Christopher Larkin is an amazing artist, and this cover brings the best part of the best song from the soundtrack, the feeling of it being alive from Pale Court, being that it was a live performance. This version of the the Greenpath theme genuinely feels alive and moving, the breathing adds a lot more than you'd expect, but it feels like you're at a genuine concert with dozens of musicians, it's incredible
another piece of a perfect pie made by Luke Pickman. the sweetness of sound flowing with every second that passes and a new flavor to be explored until there is nothing left but a desire to have more.
This is my favorite song from Hollow Knight and wow, utterly impressed with your rendition. It really feels so alive and wonderful. Thank you very much!
The separation of instruments on the rising arppegio is such a tasteful interpretation - I also can't get over the dynamic rise to bring in the battle version as well!! Masterful interpretation, I hope we get to hear the rest of the OST from you ❤
My favorite piece from Hollow Knight 🥹🥹🥹 this is so beautiful!! It's like an epic variation of the original, a version I could see playing on a battle for sure ❤
Omg so what you're saying is, the person who made the best covers for OSTs of one of my two favorite games is now making a cover for an OST of the other one?? Christmas sure is coming early this year
@@InstrumentManiac I hope you do something from Suikoden 1 at some point. Maybe for the release. One of the greatest soundtracks in gaming. Also FF Tactics
Oh wow, we get the combat section too, really cool! This sounded great, I liked the use of different stringed instruments during those little flourishes.
You are playing songs from every single of my favorite videogames, it's absolutely incredible to hear your interpretations of videogame music. Your work is always so inspiring!
Instrument maniac, hello. Wow, this is Hollow Knight. I played it recently, and the music there is just wonderful. Could you please arrange all the soundtracks from Hollow Knight and you will play the. The original is great, and your arrangement is just great. Also, the fact that you can play all the instruments is just maddening (in a good way).
YESYESYESYES HOLLOW KNIGHT ARRANGEMENT BY YOU GOOD SIR !! love to see each instrument as they join or are played, the wide variety needed to make these wonderful songs come to life, the decision to let the harp's strings be recorded so we can see them wave, and AAAAAAAH 👹👌👹👌👹👌 love your work, as usual
YOO NO WAY HE'S ACTUALLY DOING SOME HOLLOW KNIGHT?! Ahh, this is gonna be something. (Please do the entire album)
Literally my first reaction🔥
Yes please do the entire album 🙏
but first, what if he just did _one_ song from West of Loathing?
Amen to that, fellow Hollow Head. Beauty and tragedy, fear and adrenaline. Nothing hits quite like it.
PLEASE
We're summoning the silksong with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️
You got me out here doin Hollow Knight covers before Silksong 😭
@InstrumentManiac, the pain is real 😭 (great cover btw)
Absolutely gorgeous arrangement! ❤❤❤
@@InstrumentManiac Hollow Knight covers before GTA 6????
Its not Real, stop saying that
OH MY GOD, HE ACTUALLY NOTICED HOLLOW KNIGHT, I'M SO EXCITED
Wish Team Cherry would notice Silksong some time...
@@royalblue5367 They're not ignoring it bruh
I'm a simple vessel. I see Hollow Knight cover, I click. And, boy, was I not disappointed. Your use of instrument variety while keeping the tone and beauty of the original is insane!
Agreed.
this is fantastic! such a gorgeous rendition of one of this great soundtrack's greatest themes.
How does this have no replies? HI BLUE
its the blue man himself!
the man himself has arrived to approve this masterpiece
Yeah I fckin love this piece, though my favorite is probably either soul sanctum, mantis lords, or white palace
I love your version of greenpath better
It’s cool that you included both the environmental and combat versions of the song.
On a somewhat unrelated note: it’s neat to be able to see the harp threads move.
If you check out the Hollow Knight OST, they actually don't separate the combat version and the environmental one. He didn't change anything, he just replicated it near perfectly.
IKR
it sounds like that on spotify soundcloud and i think on youtube
the harp's strings look like that beacause of the framerate of the camera
i swear the presentation on your videos gets better every time i see one, i mean i remember when each instrument had a box and it would light up when they played, then the non playing started looking at the playing ones and now where hear, and its beautifull
The OG! Thank you for sticking around through all the iterations of this channel, I really do appreciate it 🥹
The legendary OG! 😮
Btw, just in case you didn't know, it's "we're here" :)
Don't edit the comment though, you'll lose the heart!!
Ohhh, I'm so excited man the orchestra will play Hollow knight
I'm crying with peace right now

That was soooo beautiful, what an incredible cover 😭🩵 Love the Hollow Knight OST, hope to see you play more of it in the future!!
Ahh thank you friend!! 🥹❤️
(I'd love to see your take on Hollow as well 👀)
I would love to see you do the Grimm fight theme
Yeah that and Dr. Kahl’s robot
The Hollow Knight soundtrack is about to experience a renaissance!!

THE CHILLS FROM THAT FIRST PART OF VIOLIN OMGG
This is my inspiration to start playing Hollow Knight
I started less than a week ago, absolutely loving and hating at times, but good experience for sure
I have always KNOWN this soundtrack would attract your sheer talent!
I am SO excited to see what you have in store for us!!!
Keep up the amazing work!
I recommended this one a while back! Glad to see you are finally doing it, its such a pretty song from an awesome game.
How is this comment 2 days before the video released?
He had it set to premiere so I commented before the video premiere.

This healed me, i needed it today
Love it! One of my favorite songs from HK, and done so, so good!

YEES HOLLOW KNIGHT SOUNDTRACK IS AWESOME
No way you just nailed (pun mostly not intended) my favorite song from one of my favorite games ever. This is transcendent 😭🙌
Now on loop, thank you!!!
Thank YOU! 🫵🙏
MASTERPIECE
I find his talent is jaw-dropping good!! I still can't figure out how one person can play so many instruments so perfectly well!!! Unreal!!!!!
This is just perfection dude oh my god
Love all the instruments, all going synchronized it´s incredible, love. Especially with all the guitars and the transition to the more high tempo. Again, love it, incredible work, must have taken forever to complete
I can already tell this is going to be great - looking forward to it!
Edit: I was completely right; this was incredible!

I can't WAIT to hear Mantis Lords, and eventually Sealed Vessel. The Hollow Knight OST is an absolute *goldmine*.
Yes, I love this track so much. Beautiful cover!
amazing! stunning! majestic! thank you for this!
I just discovered this page and I have to say, WOW! I closed my eyes and it was like I was there. I started humming Cornifer's tune 😂. Great job!
The ambiance at the end is sooooo nice!
ВАУ КРУТО!!! Не ожидал ещё и холоукнайт тут увидеть Ноя очень рад!!!
Perfect.
Remembering how great this soundtrack is all over again.
another piece of a perfect pie made by Luke Pickman. the sweetness of sound flowing with every second that passes and a new flavor to be explored until there is nothing left but a desire to have more.
Absolutely obsessed with this arrangement
It really puts into perspective all the different instruments coming together to make this incredible music😮
That was absolutely delightful
A masterpiece
Haven't had a chance to play the game but man what an amazing cover! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. I am just absolutely in awe!
Love it, this interpretation really brought back a lot of nostalgia to me.
You made me cry.
Thank you.
Yay! This is one of my favorite area themes in Hollow Knight!
I can't even describe how nice and concise it sounds, how much work went into it, thank you!👏👏👏
This is my favorite song from Hollow Knight and wow, utterly impressed with your rendition. It really feels so alive and wonderful. Thank you very much!
The moment you enter Greenpath, and the music starts, you know you’re in a world like no other
And my mind is no longer hollow with this banger🔥🔥🔥🗣🔥🗣🗣🔥🗣🗣
No longer hollow??? Back down to the Abyss you go
@@kassiaactuallydraws9361 I honestly wouldn’t know how to explain it even if I tried
i think you mixed dark souls with hollow knight lmao
@@Salloom0 probably😂
So excited to hear this on violin!!!
This song is one of my all time favorites. I hope to see more Hollow Knight covers!
❤ this is incredible
you hit me right in the nostalgia nerve from note one
This was so awesome and beautiful!
This is gonna be so awesome!
Amazing cover, Luke. Sounds very whimsical in the best way.
The separation of instruments on the rising arppegio is such a tasteful interpretation - I also can't get over the dynamic rise to bring in the battle version as well!! Masterful interpretation, I hope we get to hear the rest of the OST from you ❤
I've been playing Hollow Knight recently and it's so cool to see related content. This is absolutely amazing and it really did remind me of Greenpath!
I could listen to this for hours.
My favorite piece from Hollow Knight 🥹🥹🥹 this is so beautiful!! It's like an epic variation of the original, a version I could see playing on a battle for sure ❤
Definitely makes me wanna play another run...
This brought back really nice memories, back when I would play hollow knight all day and I didnt have a single worry in the world. Thank you.

This is beautiful! 🥹
Just wonderful- thank you! 🙏🏽
Bapanada!
OMG so excited to see/hear more of Hollow Knight.
such good music. 10/10
An excellent rendition sir. 👍
this sounds better then the original. 🔥🔥🔥
The sound and cinematography are both incredible!
Seeing those bass/contrabass clarinets in the arrangement made me so happy!!! They're my favorite!!
Thank you for this amazing work!!
Wowwww. Hauntingly beautiful. I love this entire soundtrack so would love to hear more of your versions of some.
I can't explain how much I love this song. Beautifully played, thank you so much! ♥️
Honestly about 65% of the reason I hope Silksong eventually comes out is for new music from Chris! This was a great rendition, thank you!
the authenticity of the sounds, the engineering, oh my god.
amazing
The keyed flute is so gorgeous ✨ I love the run being on string instruments! So well done, friend!
Thank you friend!! ❤️
Oh wow, we get the combat section too, really cool! This sounded great, I liked the use of different stringed instruments during those little flourishes.
Building in both the normal and combat version of the theme was a smooth move. Well done!

I am SO GLAD you've done some Hollow Knight. I've been hoping you would ever since I found your videos a couple years ago. Please do more!
That was absolutely stuning. Thank you
